Below, please create a numbered list of all the materials that you will need to create your calorimeter. Keep in mind that the money tree that the science department planted last year hasn't bloomed yet, so if you ask for some titanium or a kilogram of plutonium, it's probably not going to happen.
thermometer
cork
paperclip
beaker
stand
peanut
Matches
water
Below, please report your results so that we can share them with the rest of the class. Include a description (or better yet...a picture!) of your design, the values you obtained, your percent error, and some breif conclusions.
1) 3,966.993 j/g
2) 83.41%
3) The reason that are percent of error was so large is because the energy/heat was probably realeased into the air around the experiment instead of used to heat the water in the beaker.
